Nothing says Australian fauna like maras and agoutis. Now all they need for their Australian section are some meerkats, tapirs, Asian small-clawed otters, and coatis and the scene will be complete.

Ah, but it's not an Australian section - it's a small mammal complex with two Australian species and two South American ones. You could just as easily say the wallabies and koalas are ruining the South American zone!

Lisbon Zoo has a small building area, so they spread the animals by the zoo. There are other australian animals at the zoo.
A good example is the Nile Crocodile exhibit. It was a former man-made river where you could travel by Paddle-Boat, and now, it´s a great adition to a "good" meal in McDonald´s zoo.
The previously themed Southern Hemisphere Furry Animal House now contains only koalas and wallabies, for the zoogeographical purists. The outdoor enclosures were being renovated to make them koala friendly, there are also mature eucalyptus trees in the paddocks. Unfortunately it was a cold windy day and the koalas were kept inside.
